MEMORANDUM 06-82

TO: Mayor Hornaday and Homer City Council

THRU: Walt Wrede, City Manager

FROM: Sheri Hobbs, Personnel

DATE: May 12, 2006

RE: Animal Control Budget

On April 1, 2006 the City Council approved the new contract for Coastal Animal Care. The professional services cost from April through December will be $72,750. This will require an increase of $25,319 in the Professional Services account for the period of April through December 2006.

The new contract with Sherry Bess states the Contractor will provide the animal control vehicle, vehicle maintenance, food and training. The existing balances in the fleet reserve, operating supplies, food, subsistence, transportation and training accounts can be transferred to the professional services account as they will now be included in the contract. The transfer of these accounts totals $25,319 and provides sufficient funds to meet contract cost for the balance of 2006.
